Today I bring you fun with St. Patrick’s food. We have had a great time with our “Fun with Food Days” in the past.

Do you like to tranform food for holidays too? You are in the right place.… {Read More}

We made these fun ladybug pretzels for Kenzie’s spring party. These chocolate covered pretzels were the #1 hit at the party. They taste as good as they look. I don’t like to just show you a picture and let you guess how it is done. I like to empower you to be able to create these things. Some of you might see this and just know how to duplicate it.… {Read More}

These bumble bee pineapple treats were a great addition to Kenzie’s spring birthday party.

Have you worked with Candy Melts before? They’re easy to use, and I have a tutorial here if you are hesitant. I hope this gives… {Read More}

These cute butterfly snack packs were one of the contributions to Kenzie’s spring party. I wanted healthy options to add to our food table, and this cute way to hold grapes was exactly what we needed. I saw the idea at Juggling with Kids. I decided to do all grapes rather than goldfish and grapes like she did. We were getting our carbs for the meal elsewhere. I love how… {Read More}

I came up with this idea about a week ago as I saw my daughter gnawing at her tortilla creating holes all over it. We finally got around to making some tortilla snowflakes. I buy fresh tortillas that need cooking before, so I let them use scissors to cut the designs. Just fold the tortilla in half, and then again and then again, so you have a little wedge. Then,… {Read More}

I wanted to announce, in a fun way, that we would be going Christmas tree hunting. I saw this Christmas tree pancake idea the other day on Pinterest. The original idea came from My Chic Life. Today I’ll give you my favorite pancake recipe in another post. You just need to add green food coloring, and there ya have it. I made the star out of some chocolate covered sesame… {Read More}

I have had a lot of fun with food design in the past. I had my original fun with food post, but I also had a day celebrating Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day. We have also had fun with food faces. I thought I’d give it a whirl leading up to turkey day. Lunch consisted of quesadilla and apple feathers with a carrot body. I had some candy… {Read More}

Fruit faces have brought some joy to my daughter’s lunches at school. I guess the kids are loving it. It’s so simple to do. You need fruit with a peel and a Sharpie. Sneak these into the lunch for extra smiles. I got the idea from my friend. She said her kids wouldn’t touch the browning bananas until she came up with the idea to draw faces on them. Then,… {Read More}

R is for Red Velvet Cake, Raspberries and Red Vines. Abby’s class does a really fun activity as they are learning letters. Each child (whose parents sign up) brings a snack to share with the rest of the class on Fridays that starts with the letter of the week. We were assigned R so were able to come up with snacks to bring. The real fun part is you bring… {Read More}

Snowman hot chocolate is so fun. All you do is put whipping cream on top of your hot chocolate. Use chocolate chips for the mouth and eyes. I used a Smartie for the nose. I think it would be cuter with a red hot, but I didn’t have any. Your kids will love it, but the elements sink quickly, so make sure to serve it right away.

I have enjoyed sharing some projects before I took on this blog undertaking. I made these rice crispy treat turkey’s when Abigail was 2 1/2. The original recipe I got from the Kellogg’s Rice Krispies website. I’ll let you just click through if you want to make them. The pretzels were hard to get in, so I would put them in immediately before you do anything else.

These Halloween Gingerbread Cookie Mummies and more will be a fun delight this Halloween season. I did the mummies and the “and more” come when I thought about doing the scarecrow, skeleton, witch, and ghost. If you are looking for more fun Halloween treat ideas, you should check out my monster caramel apples, bat Oreos, satsuma jack-o-lanterns, and spider lollipops. I went to make my gingerbread cookie recipe, and something seemed… {Read More}

Why does it feel like somebody’s watching me? We’ve done fun with food days in the past.

YES! This is DESSERT. Look closely, and you can see my steak melting (I made it quicker than instructed, and it didn’t set enough. I was also trying to take pictures, which slows down the process). This is a delicious and playful Father’s Day dessert. Click through for the how-to… Ice Cream & Pound Cake Steak and Fries 4 plates serves 8 people For the Steaks: One 1 1/2… {Read More}

These silly pancakes will delight your children. Breakfast was fun this morning. When I was little, my mom used to make me smiley face and mickey mouse pancakes. I decided to try and take it to the next level with a variety of fun designs, but I first had to figure out how to do it. All I did was fill up a pastry bag with pancake batter. I put… {Read More}

Here’s a fun little tutorial that I think you’ll enjoy. These are called Egg Pops. They are basically a Popsicle formed inside a plastic egg. The first step is to take a stick pin and poke a hole in the bottom of the egg. My eggs already had the beginning of a hole in the top, so I had to do it there, or it would have leaked. The next… {Read More}

I have wanted to do these resurrection rolls ever since I saw them. I’ve seen a number of people do them since, and I’ve continued to love the idea of this visual demonstration of the empty tomb that was found Easter morning. I got some of the recipe from The Sister’s Cafe. The other portion of the recipe is my own bread machine roll recipe that has been my favorite… {Read More}
